Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, beat 2 large eggs lightly. Mix in 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of diced apples, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gently fold these wet ingredients into the dry mixture.
  3. In a deep fryer or large pot, heat about 3 inches of oil to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Once the oil is hot, drop generous spoonfuls of the fritter batter into the oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Remove fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust milk for desired glaze consistency.
  7. Drizzle the prepared vanilla glaze generously over the cooled fritters before serving warm.
